Warner bros. studio tour hollywood.

• Walks and tours
• price 2 of 4

Warner Bros.’ guided tram tour zips through the studio’s sizeable footprint—110 acres on the Valley-side of the Hollywood Hills. It’s an encyclopedic tour of all types of filming locations, with a journey through the backlot’s city stand-ins and Gilmore Girls -starring residential square, as well as a stops inside a soundstage and at a few museum-caliber displays of props. Though you’ll spend some time simply navigating the sprawling grid of soundstages, you’ll also stop and venture on foot with memorable photo ops: a seat on the couch at Friends’ Central Perk or The Big Bang Theory’s  Apartment 4A, an opportunity to mount a Harry Potter broomstick and the chance to come face to face with almost every Batmobile imaginable. 

For fans of: Ellen , Conan , The Big Bang Theory , Friends , Harry Potter , Batman ,  Aquaman ,  Wonder Woman ,  Crazy Rich Asians ,  Looney Tunes

You won’t find anywhere else: A dedicated studio museum, and by far the most to see on any studio tour.

3hrs, $73 (adult) or $63 (child)

Universal Studios Hollywood Studio Tour

• Theme parks
• Universal City
• price 3 of 4

While Universal Studios’ tram tour is technically an amusement park attraction—which means you’ll have to stomach the hefty price of admission—it manages to combine the look of a living, working studio with entertaining theme park polish. The tour mixes live narration and pre-recorded bits as you cart through backlot sets of New York, a mutt of European villages, the Old West and familiar movie landmarks—most impressively the 747 crash site from  War of the Worlds . The majority of live filming is securely tucked away—and if it’s not, expect portions of the backlot to be chopped off of your experience—but Universal compensates with preplanned encounters that mimic special effects: a wet and fiery earthquake simulation, a sudden flash flood and that delightfully rubbery, toothy grin on the face of Bruce—a.k.a.  Jaws . The 3D motion simulation that replaced the iconically campy (and burned down) King Kong section is a welcome technical upgrade.

For fans of: Psycho , The Fast and the Furious , all things Steven Spielberg

You won’t find anywhere else: Rubber sharks, CGI gorillas and plenty of pyro.

Up to 1hr, $169 (10+) theme park admission

Sony Pictures Studio Tour

• Culver City

As you pass through the studio gates on this walking tour, you’re immediately greeted by Tony Tasset’s arching  Rainbow  sculpture—a nod to the studio’s past as the home of  The Wizard of Oz . The lot’s footprint has been significantly downsized since then, when it was known as the iconic MGM Studios; virtually all of its colorful backlot sets are now gone with the wind. But the magnolia tree-lined sidewalks and clean, white Art Deco facades provide a pleasant ambience that the other industrial-edged studios lack. A leisurely pace allows time to peer through the elephant doors of a soundstage and look out for passing celebrities. The tour skews toward contemporary productions—the bullet-riddled RV from  Breaking Bad , a stock car from  Talladega Nights  and a stop in the studios for  Jeopardy  or  Wheel of Fortune —but there are still plenty of small moments where that old moviemaking charm endures.

For fans of:   The Wizard of Oz ,  Singin’ in the Rain ,  Ben-Hur ,  Spiderman ,  Breaking Bad ,  Talladega Nights ,  Jeopardy ,  Wheel of Fortune

You won’t find anywhere else:  The acoustic bliss during a stop in a foley studio. 2hrs, $56.50 

Paramount Pictures Studio Tour

Believe it or not, Paramount is the last major studio to keep its headquarters located in Hollywood—and the only one there to open its doors to the public. Inside the famous wrought iron gate, you’ll be treated to a guided tram tour through the prop house and a sizable New York backlot. Of particular note, there’s the open-air Blue Sky Tank, which holds almost one million gallons of water to film anything from surfing scenes to maritime disasters.

For fans of:   This Is Us, Grace and Frankie ,  Dr. Phil

You won’t find anywhere else:  A seasonal after-dark tour that takes a macabre walk through moviemaking history and the neighboring Hollywood Forever Cemetery .

2hrs, from $65

What can’t you see?

Some of the biggest and most exciting studios are open to public tours, but you may be scratching your head at some big name omissions. CBS Television City technically doesn’t offer tours, but there are tons of  TV shows  that film there everyday for which you can secure tickets. NBC’s famous Burbank studio tour was discontinued in 2012 after most of its productions had migrated to Universal City—notable holdout  The Tonight Show  fled the lot for New York in 2014. Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson (the locations of the original Warner Brothers and Columbia studios, respectively) are closed to the public, but you can get a fantastic oral history from the  Felix in Hollywood Tour . Similarly,  Siren Studios ,  L.A. Center Studios ,  the Jim Henson Company Lot  and the 20th Century Fox Studios are for serious business only, though all have been known to host the occasional public-facing event. And not to stomp all over your childhood dreams, but unless you know an employee, don’t plan on getting inside the gates at the Walt Disney Studios or Nickelodeon’s Burbank animation studio.

Fox Sports Debuts Fully LED, Digital-First Studio on Fox Studios Lot

L.a.-based ‘stage d’ to go live wednesday with flippin’ bats with ben verlander and alex curry.

By Brandon Costa, Director of Digital Wednesday, June 21, 2023 - 10:54 am Print This Story | Subscribe

Story Highlights

On Wednesday, Fox Sports will launch a studio set dedicated exclusively to content creation for digital and social platforms at the Fox Studios Lot in Los Angeles.

“Stage D” houses 3,000 sq. ft. of stage space and is supported by two new control rooms. It leverages state-of-the-art technologies with Fox Sports’ Studio A, the Sports Emmy Award–winning home to the broadcaster’s NFL and MLB studio coverage since 2022 .

Many of Fox Sports’ digital-first programming will call the studio home, including The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast ,  The Skip Bayless Show , State of the Union With Alexi Lalas , Out of Character With Ryan Satin , and the first show that will shoot in the space, Flippin’ Bats With Ben Verlander and Alex Curry . The content produced will stream in long-form and produce clipped short-form content for delivery across the Fox Sports App, Fox Sports’ website, and Fox Sports’ various social accounts on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

The stage area is loaded with LED: eight movable walls, a movable LED stage, a movable interview stage, and even an LED floor that can move into position for multiple shooting locations. Selected LED walls are in vertical format to support both display of and creation of content for vertical-friendly platforms, such as TikTok, Instagram Stories, and other mobile-first distribution methods. All LED displays are from Planar.

There are currently 10 identified shooting positions on the stage, but, with so much of the furniture and all but one of the LED surfaces movable, the possibilities are virtually endless in how and where to produce content.

“I’m encouraging producers, directors, creatives, talent to make this space their own,” says Ricardo Perez-Selsky, senior director, digital production operations, Fox Sports . “The LED walls are on casters; the stages are on casters. Our furniture can move. We have movable lighting in the grid. Everything on the stage moves. The only limitations here are the producer’s creativity, but I want content that’s going to look different and feel different on a month-to-month basis so that [users] become ‘timeline stoppers.’ When you’re scrolling through our content on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, the Fox Sports App, you’re going to see something that looks different and new.”

Fox Sports’ Ricardo Perez-Selsky: “The only limitations here are the producer’s creativity.”

The stage gets its power and versatility from a pair of new control rooms that leverage automation technologies via Ross Overdrive to help smaller digital crews produce the high-quality shows that the stage is capable of. Both control rooms can range from full automation to 25 staffed positions.

The central area in each control room is affectionately referred to as the “cockpit” since a single operator could essentially cut a show on their own. Depending on the size and scale of the show, a single director could switch cameras, insert graphics, manage LED elements and lighting on the set, and adjust audio all from that seat.

Stage D is supported by two control rooms, each featuring automation technology and built on a core of Ross Video gear.

Having two control rooms also enables synergies and flexibility. One is outfitted to house Home Run (or remote) productions; the other is exclusively for studio content. The Home Run model allows talent to host programs from locations on the road, but all key positions — producer, graphics, playback, engineering — can remain at the studio in Los Angeles.

In addition to Overdrive, the control rooms are based on a core of Ross gear, including the Acuity production switcher. Calrec consoles are in place for audio. With the strong emphasis on live, Fox Sports Digital delivers content via Amazon and AWS, encoding over AWS Elemental MediaLive.

Fox Sports’ approach to live digital programming is a bit unusual in an era when linear television is expected to be more “polished” and social content more “raw.” Fox Sports Digital’s award-winning work with its live Twitter show at the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup in Qatar and similar digital-exclusive live programming surrounding Super Bowl LVII demonstrates that “traditional” studio-based programming can succeed in a big way.

“I think things that eye-catching are going to be eye-catching regardless,” says Perez-Selsky. “That’s why we’ve incorporated the technology that we’ve done here with desks and LED walls. The studio was not designed for 16:9; it was designed for 9:16. Social producers are involved in our content, and now they’re able to film their content at an insanely high quality. We’re able to design graphics that are specific for LED elements and things that are interactive with talent. I think that’s going to come through in the overall content and is going to be a timeline stopper.”

Besides simply a beautiful, multipurpose set and a pair of control rooms, Perez-Selsky points out, perhaps the biggest benefit of the new build is the collaboration and content-sharing workflows that it established between the Fox Sports’ digital team and the linear-television side of the company. Digital producers working in the space have access to more than 2,000 cameras from productions and sports events worldwide through Fox Sports’ Video Router.

“When [Fox Sports Digital] first came into the [Fox Studio Lot] and started doing productions here in January 2021, we were still on an island,” says Perez-Selsky. “This will greatly enhance our content. It’s incredibly critical — not just the technology but also having access to the [linear] personnel. The engineers help us out on a regular basis, and that full Fox Sports backbone is now supporting digital. It’s a huge thing to leverage.”

Conceptualizing the facility was a collaborative effort by digital and linear executives. SVP, Digital Content Michael Bucklin ; Senior Manager, Technical Operations, John Marcus ; Senior Manager, Production Operations, Thomas Meason ; and Associate Manager, Technical Operations, Chris Cheshire played critical roles in the space’s development and its integration with Fox Sports headquarters infrastructure.

ABOUT FOX STUDIO LOT

The Fox Lot, known historically as Movietone City, is the first complete facility built specifically for the production of motion pictures.

The studio opened with a great deal of fanfare in October of 1928, as it was often called "a small

city'' in which each of the buildings constructed between 1928 and 1932 had a role in the production of films, from the ornate administration buildings and "soundproof" stages to the most functional support facilities and residences. Built in just under four months, Fox Film Corporation's principal studio was considered, "the newest, largest, and most completely equipped plant for the production of motion pictures in the world."

Currently in use at the studio are over 2 million square feet of production support and headquarter facilities for Fox administration, production personnel, stages, theaters, dressing rooms, and editing bays.

Pico Boulevard is in the foreground and the lot extends to Santa Monica Boulevard.

Century City has been completely developed and the lot exists, for the most part, as it does today.

Hollywood Studio Tours

Which are the best.

This post covers the most enjoyable movie studio tours in and around Hollywood.

With so many historic studios in the area, it might be difficult to pick just one to visit.

Taking a studio tour is one of the top things to do in LA .

STUDIO TOURS

Interestingly enough, there are quite a few differences between the tours offered at each studio, and that should make it easier to figure out which tour best fits your expectations.

Ticket prices vary from $62 per person to literally thousands of dollars.

However, 3 of the tours, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and Universal Studios are included for free or at a lower cost in several tourist attraction passes. 

It's also worth noting that the length of these tours can run from roughly an hour to almost a week.

With all of that said, let's start talking about what each movie studio offers with their tours.

• Warner Bros.
• Sony Pictures
• Universal Studios
• Paramount Pictures
• Adventures by Disney: Disney Backstage

At the bottom of this post , we share some thoughts and opinions from members of our Los Angeles Travel Tips group on Facebook.

Our group comprises roughly 9,000 locals (like our tour guides), tourists, returning visitors, and newbies to LA.

You don't need to be a member to read the posts, comments, and recommendations.

WARNER BROS. STUDIO TOUR

Below is a summary of our post on Warner Brothers Studio tours , where we also provide tips on planning your trip.

If you're in the market for a somewhat normal tour on the backlot, this might be one of your best bets.

In addition to seeing movie sets and sound stages from some of the most notable movies in film history, you'll also have the opportunity to enjoy a few specific activities.

  While on this movie studio tour, you'll be able to re-create a famous scene from the hit television show Friends , climb aboard Harry Potter 's broomstick, and even create your own Batmobile.

Warner Bros. even offers an interactive sound stage that explores the entire process of making a film from start to finish.

At three hours in length, this tour is probably the longest duration of all of the options in Hollywood.

• Availability: Thursday - Monday
• Hours: Every half hour from 9 am - 3:30 pm

Some guests have gone so far as to suggest that this trip is worth every single penny.

Visitors were typically very happy with their tour guides, referring to them as both friendly and informative. 

SONY PICTURES STUDIO TOUR

This might be the most affordable movie studio tour in Hollywood, and it's also one of the most historic. Do note, that is is a walking tour.

While on this tour, you'll see the sound stages where they recorded classics such as The Wizard of Oz and superhero flicks like Spider-man .

Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to see where Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are recorded.

Although they don't make any promises, there's always a chance that you'll run into someone famous on this active studio back lot!

Customers really appreciated the opportunity to see several historic filming locations and learn a lot about the process of making a movie.

Although some reviewers were unhappy that this is a walking tour, others simply appreciated the opportunity to see where film history was made.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS TOUR

This is where things get interesting, as Universal Studios has essentially made their tour one of the services offered at their amusement park.

In other words, you need to buy a ticket for Universal Studios Hollywood in order to experience this studio tour.

Clocking in at only one hour in length, this is definitely the shortest studio tour available. Check out this video of Stephen Spielberg giving a tour of the site.

In addition to seeing the back lot, you'll also experience attractions such as the Jaws ride, King Kong 360 in 3D, Bates Motel and Fast & The Furious : Supercharged.

Although it will cost more to take this tour, it's worth noting that your ticket lasts all day and guarantees access to all of the rides.

• Availability: Daily from 8 am - 6 pm
• Duration: 1 hour
• Click here for ticket information .

Despite the higher price tag, this movie studio tour has still received quite excellent ratings ( read reviews here ). The overall Universal Studios Hollywood experience has a score of 4.7 out of 5 stars .

A few visitors have even suggested that this trip around the studio is worth the price of admission.

Although most customers feel that the ticket price is a bit high, even the critics can't deny that they had a blast. 

PARAMOUNT PICTURES STUDIO TOUR

Unlike the other movie studios, Paramount Pictures offers three different studio tours.

The main tour is 2 hours long and covers quite a lot of ground on the backlot.

However, if you want to experience more, their VIP tour lasts for 4 ½ hours and includes access to several additional areas.

The VIP tour also provides a gourmet lunch at a unique location in the studio.

Alternatively, you can also choose a 2 ½ hour night tour that reveals a lot of historic locations such as notable theaters and original film vaults.

No matter which option you choose, you'll learn a lot about the history of Paramount.

• $65 for the studio tour | $215 for the VIP tour
• Availability of Studio tour: Mon-Fri, every half hour from 9 AM - 3:30 PM
• Availability of VIP tour: Mon, Wed, Fri at 9:30 AM
• Duration of Studio tour: 2 hours
• Duration of VIP tour: 4 ½ hours
• Click here for additional information .

Reviews for the Paramount Pictures Studio tours are very positive, averaging a rating of 4 ½ out of 5 stars on TripAdvisor. 

Some visitors referred to the excursion as a movie buff's dream, while others were just impressed with how much they learned and discovered.

Some reviewers indicated that Paramount alters the tour slightly depending on the season, ensuring a nice variety of topics and locations to cover no matter when you decide to buy a ticket.

ADVENTURES BY DISNEY: DISNEY BACKSTAGE

You had to figure that Disney was going to be a little more expensive, but the actual cost of this week-long experience might shock you.

To be fair, the package includes meals and accommodation at both the Loews Hollywood Hotel and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.

This Disney backstage adventure includes a tour of the Walt Disney Studios & Archives, an Imagineering tour, a Hollywood walking tour, and a tour of the Jim Henson Company.

Most of these tours are only available via this week-long package. The entire itinerary takes six days to complete, and it will keep you busy with plenty of fun activities from start to finish. 

• $4,999 for Adults | $4,749 for Children
• Availability: 2-4 times per month
• Duration: 6 days
• Hotel accommodation included
• 11 Meals included
• VIP Disneyland ticket included

As you can probably imagine, the testimonials for this experience are quite positive ( read reviews here ).

Some guests even noted that they made friends with their tour guides and continue to stay in touch with them to this very day.

Additionally, customers also appreciated the opportunity to see some behind-the-scenes areas that bring the history of Walt Disney to life.

One visitor even suggested that this trip allowed them to become kids again as they explored secret and wonderful locations at the happiest place on earth.

COMBO DEALS

If you're looking for a better price on these tours and other activities in Hollywood, you might want to consider one of the following combo packages.

Studios like Warner Bros. and Universal often work with tour companies to provide their services at lower prices.

There are several options to mull over, and almost all of them provide additional tours and services.

If you plan on spending more than one day in Hollywood, these combo deals are definitely worth a look.

GO CITY LOS ANGELES ALL-INCLUSIVE PASS

There's a reason that this is one of the premier attraction passes in Los Angeles.

In addition to offering access to a variety of notable locations, they also provide admission to some studio tours.

In particular, you can enjoy the Universal Studios tour, the Warner Bros. Studio tour and (sometimes) the Sony Pictures Studio tour with one version of this pass or another.

The Warner Bros. Studio tour is currently only offered with their Explorer Pass, and you'll need to purchase at least a 3-Day All-Inclusive pass to get admission to the Universal Studios tour .

Given that this tourist pass also supplies tickets to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm, it's fair to say that the Go City Los Angeles All-Inclusive Pass could be a real bargain.

• $109 for 1-day pass
• $164 for 2-day pass
• $284 for 3-day pass
• $344 for 4-day pass
• $374 for 5-day pass

Read our post comparing the different tourist attraction passes available in Los Angeles.

TRANSPORTATION COMBO PACKAGES

If you're looking for transportation to and from each movie studio tour, the following services are available.

The advantage of these combo deals is that you won't have to pay for parking, gas, or car rental in order to visit each location.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included with each package.

Take your time and enjoy the studio tour without having to worry about anything else!

• Not currently available as of January 2024

CELEBRITY HOMES TOUR COMBO PACKAGES

These combo deals provide both a celebrity home tour and a movie studio tour.

Each option includes transportation not only around Hollywood but also to and from the studios.

While some of these services use a mini-bus, others drive you around town in a luxury sedan or an SUV.

Each company offers both hotel pickup and drop-off.

Expect these outings to last for between 6-8 hours on average.

• Warner Bros. Studio Tour & Movie Star Homes Tour (Starline Tours) - $119/Adults | $99/Children
• Alternatively, we offer our own self-guided celebrity homes tour .

This might be a good way to save even more money if you don't mind doing a bit of driving around Hollywood and Beverly Hills.

TIPS FROM LOCALS AND TRAVELERS

While we provide the details of what each tour offers, costs, and other information, here you can see what members of our Los Angeles Travel Tips group on Facebook have to say.

There are plenty of fans of the Warner Brothers tour.

And some enjoyed Paramount as well.

If you have to choose only one, between Warners or Paramount, these members’ insight may help.

Universal Studios received mixed reviews. Some people felt it was a waste of time and money.

On the other hand, Issa had a fantastic time, so much so that she wrote a very long post detailing her time there and how to make the most of your visit.

Take a look at our Los Angeles Travel Tips group for more recommendations, opinions and advice.

You don't need to join to read comments, but if you do join you can post a question regarding the studios!

Fox Sports begins filming at new L.A. digital studio

Fox Sports has begun filming in its new digital studio at the Fox Studios Lot in L.A., the culmination of three months of construction and a vision to enhance the home of the platform’s lineup of digital original productions. “I was blown away with just the fact that you could even have a studio that looks like what we now have,” said “Flippin’ Bats” host Ben Verlander , who debuted the new space with a Tuesday taping of his show alongside co-host Alex Curry . “It’s so versatile.”

The new studio, which is 3,000 square feet and includes 360 degrees of shooting space and two new control rooms, shares tech synergies with Fox Sports’ 5,000-square-foot Studio A in L.A., which debuted in 2022 and is the primary home of Fox’s NFL and MLB coverage. It features eight movable LED Walls, one moveable LED stage and one moveable interview stage. “We wanted to keep growing because our video podcast network was growing and we’d started to tape more and more,” Fox Sports Sr Director/Digital Production Operations Ricardo Perez-Selsky  said. “We were getting to a point where set flips were just taking too much time. Doing 30-plus tapings a week at this point, it was just too costly. With the new studio, flip times have basically gone to zero.”

The space’s vertical LED elements make it optimized for social videos that emphasize vertical over horizontal, a key consideration as Fox Sports looks to create content that “stops you when you're scrolling on your timeline,” Perez-Selsky said. “We're able to do a lot of different looks across our content now, more so than we ever have been before, and I think that that's a big determinant in catching audiences’ eyes on our platforms.”

Leads on the project included Perez-Selsky , SVP/Digital Content Michael Bucklin  and Sr Manager/Technical Operations John Marcus . In addition to “Flippin’ Bats,” the studio is home to four other shows -- “The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast,” “The Skip Bayless Show,” “State of the Union with Alexi Lalas ,” and “Out of Character with Ryan Satin .”

20th century fox studio tour.

What an amazing experience!!

How were you able to get in to tour the lot? I want to do so, but it doesn't seem like Fox allows tours on a regular basis. Thanks for any info or tips you can provide.

From time to time I am invited to preview screenings of film on various lots. These pictures were taken one of those times. It was not a real tour they provided. I just wandered around and took a bunch of pictures, to share.
